1. I am going to see the Gophers at TCF Bank Stadium today. The only live football I have seen is high school ball, so I am pretty excited about going (even though the team stinks)

   1. Mrs. Runner & I are at Mizzou to attend the Family Weekend and catch the football game tonight against the mighty powerhouse Western Illinois.

      Saw a comedy show last night that featured this guy (very funny) and then Runner daughter and I caught the late show on campus of Kung Fu Panda II. Been a fun weekend so far.

   2. I haven't had fun at live football that was above the high school level, but perhaps the U of M provides a better experience.

      1. College football was an absolute blast when I was in college.

   3. My friend and I had a great time. We had seat at the 10 yard line towards the student section and thats where all the cool things happened like that blocked punt and the two missed extra points. I couldnt believe how loud it got with just the student section cheering. I wish we would of parked somewhere less congested though, it was a endeavor trying to leave after the game.

      1. My NFL game experience was in some ways a decent time (the Vikings won by four or five touchdowns, for instance), but it was much harder to catch everything, and we were surrounded by a sea of people who were well beyond tipsy, even as the game started.

      2. I went to one game back in the dark ages at Memorial Stadium. It was a great, on-campus location (kitty-corner from the Barn, I think). All I really remember is seeing Marion Barber Jr. coming out in street clothes (he was injured, boooo!) and towering over most of the players. That dude was huge.

2. Word now comes out that Jerry Kill had additional seizures in the days following the one he had at TCF on Saturday. I knew it. That hospital stay was absolutely way too long for everything to be normal.

   1. That's scary. I'm no doctor, and can only base my opinion on my experiences with Mrs. A, but I would not have him back on the sidelines until the doctors were confident that they knew what was causing them and that they had him on medications that would take care of them.

   2. Right, when I had my big seizure I was out of the hospital within about 10 hours.

3. Man, I love watching Arsenal embarrass themselves.

   1. Blackburn?! Oh my, Arsenal.

4. Joe Benson now leads your Minnesota Twins in OPS! Now if he can just improve on his 10:1 K:BB ratio

5. This story is sure to be over-inflated.

   1. My brother-in-law lives in Chinatown and says he has this problem. Poor Chinese guys. (Or poor girls, maybe)

      1. Sure he does.

6. Paging Tedy Bruschi...

   1. I saw that. What a major lack of understanding of the power of his words, and the makeup of his demographic.

      1. Compare that to Ochocinco's tweet. Which is worse?

         1. Ooh, I know this. It's the one that wasn't written by a quarterback, right??
